mile or more down il the depths of the
ocean.
fortunately soundings with special IN.
struments as well as dredgings, have re.
vealed some facts with which this curl.
osity can be gratifed.
AS to the quantity of light at the bot
tom of the sea, there has been much dis
pute. Animals dredged from below
seven hundred fathoms either have no
eyes or there are faint indications of
them, or else their eyes are very large
and protruding. II the creatures in
those lower depths have any color, it is
OF orange or red, or reddish orange. Sea
anemones, corals, shirps and crabs
have this brilliant color. Sometimes il
is pure red or scarlet, and in many
specimens it inclines towards purple.
Not green or blue fish is found.
The orange red is the fish Is protection :
for the blush green light in the bottom
of the ocean makes the orange or red
fish appear of a neutral tint, and hides
it from its enemies.
Many animals are black, others neu-
trail in color. Some fish are provided
with boring tails so that they can bur-
row iu the mud. The surface of the
submarine mountains IS covered with
shells. like an ordinary sea beach, show
irg that they are the eating house of
vast schools of carnivorous animals.

A Rats Wisdom.

On a very warm day in early summer
I happened TO be standing near a chick

the head Of a very gray aud griZz!ed Tat

and looked friendly invitation 10 the

/ started toward her.
The rat had not reached the pan be-
foIe five half grown young ones rushed
ahead and tried to be first at the water
The old rat thereupon Immediately
made leap like kangaroo, and was at
the edge of the dish in advance of the
foremost of the litter. Then ensued a
remarkable accurance. The mother rat
raised herself on her launches and bit
and scratched her offspring so severely
whenever they attempted to reach the
water that they all finally scudded, evil

at the strange and unaccountaole be-

tie ones were at safe distance the rea-
sons for her extraordinary behavior
began TO be revealed at once in the in
telligent action of the old mother ras.
She first wetted her wEiskers in the
water, looked suspiciously about her,
then very cautiously ard carefully took
a dainty little sip of the liquid She
tasted 1t as tentatively and criticly as a
professional tea faster, and when she
was satisfied that it contained no pois-
onous or deleterious matter she gave a
couple OF squeals, which broughtgher
young and thirsty brood to her side, and
all fearlessly drank to their fill. Now,
this old mother rat was experienced.
had learned her lesson In that school
thoroughly, and so she would not allow
her young and un;aught litter to taste
water which might have contained rat
poison or what not until she had salts
fed herself that the liquid was harmless.
